π: Original message text, spelling, whitespace, links, order, and assistant progress updates are preserved. Timestamps come from session record envelopes. Injected repository/environment and app context, system/developer instructions, internal reasoning, and tool calls/results are excluded. No missing message coverage was detected within this cutoff. There are no user message attachments; tool screenshots are excluded with tool results.

π: Assistant messages are associated with turns through internal_chat_message_metadata_passthrough.turn_id. The corresponding turn_context.model is gpt-6-astra for all included responses. This is a configured label, not a confirmed generating backend version; exact versions/snapshots are unavailable. Provider openai comes from session_meta.model_provider.

I’ll find the Ghost browser’s navigation controls and add back and forward arrows in the top left, with disabled states when there’s no history to navigate.

Ghost already supports back/forward shortcuts and trackpad gestures. I’m adding matching arrow buttons beside the address bar and wiring their enabled states to each tab’s history.

The app builds successfully, and all six Swift tests pass. I’m checking the visible controls and history navigation in an isolated test window before finishing.

The arrows work in the live UI: Back and Forward restore the correct page, unavailable directions dim, and switching tabs updates both buttons correctly. The updated app is built.

Added Safari-style back and forward arrows at the top left, with hover feedback and disabled states when unavailable.

Built, tested, and reopened Ghost Browser with the update. All six tests passed; navigation and tab switching verified.

I’ll use the save-chat skill to save this conversation in Ghost.
